Several Jamaican track fans aren't happy with Alana Reid's move to the US, training alongside world champion Sha'Carri Richardson. Here's why
Since Jamaica's teenage sensation, Alana Reid relocated to the US to start training with Sha'Carri Richardson under the guidance of coach Dennis Mitchell, several Jamaican track fans have been unhappy.
Reid, the reigning World Under-20 200m bronze medallist, made a shocking move in October to start training under the guidance of coach Dennis Mitchell at the Florida-based Star Athletics Track Club.
This move came with mixed feelings from Jamaican athletics fans, who feel their best talent should not be training in a rival country. Also, the switch came a few months after she ran the 100m National U20 record of 10.92s and signed a multi-year professional deal with Nike.
